5 Ronda Rousey MMA techniques

#3 Knees

Ronda Rousey's knee strikes are absolutely devastating

At UFC 170, against fellow Olympic medalist Sara McMann, Ronda Rousey thoroughly impressed one and all with her striking skills. Rousey absolutely trounced McMann via TKO – who, by the way, was a very dangerous fighter at the time.

Rousey stalked McMann, and attaining the clinch position against fence, Rousey connected with a beautiful knee that obliterated her foe. The knee seemed to have connected right to McMann's liver, and resultantly, the latter winced in pain and was knocked down immediately.

An important point I'd like to note over here, is that Rousey's knees have always been one of her more underrated techniques. The Rowdy One simply has excellent knee strikes!

Moreover, she has a great tendency of angling off before looking for the knee strikes. What Rousey does really well, is create openings for the clinch with her punches, enter the clinch, and then fire off brutal knees to the sides of her opponent's body.
